Going deeper with dplyr: New features in 0.3 and 0.4 (video tutorial)

In August 2014, I created a 40-minute video tutorial introducing the key functionality of the dplyr package in R. dplyr continues to be my "go-to" package for data exploration and manipulation because of its intuitive syntax, blazing fast performance, and excellent documentation.

I recorded that tutorial using the latest version at the time (0.2), but there have since been two significant updates to dplyr (versions 0.3 and 0.4). Because those updates introduced a ton of new functionality, I thought it was time to create another tutorial!

This new tutorial covers the most useful new features in 0.3 and 0.4, as well as some advanced functionality from previous versions that I didn't cover last time. (If you have not watched the previous tutorial, I recommend you do so first since it covers some dplyr basics that are not covered in this tutorial.)
